Business processes broken? Consider a new ERP

Are your organization’s business processes negatively impacted by your current ERP software solution?

Here are some of the telltale signs:

Business is saddled with broken, inefficient business processes that were implemented to work around current ERP application

Adjust business processes to accommodate old customizations

Ad hoc programs that were developed over the years by IT staff driving high maintenance costs

For many, the most important driver in considering replacing an ERP system is the ability to streamline and standardize business processes. Replacing a legacy ERP system can dramatically improve business processes across the enterprise.

For small and midsize growth companies replacing a legacy ERP satisfies today’s need for a global, standardized solution with tightly integrated control and compliance capabilities. And, cost-effective, manufacturing-focused ERP solutions are available, tailored to the needs of growing enterprises.
